George Hood 1815 Selby Marriage - James Cookin / James Cook in W

[..claire..]

I can't link up I am using my phone - we can rule out the George Head to Joseph & Hannah. There is a few posts on this - the family surname is actually STEAD. This George (thanks to dobfarm )died c1800.

I have also found another marriage in Leeds on 14 Jan 1786 - Ann HEAD to Thomas PEARSON. I've checked the image - she left her her mark in the register. It was also by licence. So there may be an error here too by the minister as I cannot find a suitable baptism for her using Head. The licence gives her age as 24.

Regarding the Costa Mills will put up some images regarding the use of the name Head/Hood, the family had been milling there from the early 1600's so should be fairly well known I would have thought.

And something else -

Remember John Fotheringham from Lincolnshire ? He was born a Quaker. Married three times in an Anglican Church, baptised his daughter in an Anglican Church. Yet was buried by Quakers, his burial states "not in membership".

So it is feasible that GH could have been born a Quaker, and possibly under a variety of surnames we may have come across - Head - Hird - Hurd for example.

Hello

Thanks Claire. I've noticed the Quakers use this phrase regarding a person who converted to the Quakers ... he had not the Quaker Birthright


Another example here ...

Thomas Williams, Croydon, Surrey  27  9  6mo. 1833.
The young man whose career was thus early terminated, was born at Ramsgate, in the year 1806. He was the son of Henry and Eleanor Williams, and was not by birthright a member of our Society; ...


My George Hood is rather odd.

Perhaps the burial in a Quaker burial ground, as "Not in Membership", was just a favour.

But even appointed a big Selby Quaker Jonathan HUTCHINSON to be his Arbitrator and Umpire regarding his Will.

I had considered possibly the Quakers may have been a driving force in Georges life for a longer period - they may have apprenticed him. He seemed to 'mingle' amongst them from records etc. that you have found.

It seems a big favour as most of the family were buried by them, but George had business dealings with them. He must have been well respected.
I'm surprised that he didn't leave instruction in his Will in regards to his funeral. But then GH doesn't like making things easy for us

Right here are the Costa Mill baptism records with surname recorded as HEAD. There is actually a third one - John born in 1767, His age at death (1846) gave him a birth year of 1767, but the left hand side of the page isn't there - so no forename remains, but does say 'son of John Head' - so possibly him too.

One entry I would say is a mistake, but three times..

Hello

Thanks Claire

Costa Mill had been in the Hood family for a long time and your examples appear to show Hood has been written Head on occasions.

 --------

Agree with dobfarm: the incorrectly transcribed RG 7/789:-
George Head 3 January 1784 Birth in the Parish of High Hoyland, Yorkshire, is
George Stead 3 January 1784 Birth in the Parish of High Hoyland, Yorkshire. 
Fortunately Parish begins H, for comparison.

3 November 1838

Teetotal Lecture.

 ... Mr Hood, from Leeds, gave a lecture on teetotalism to a crowded congregation, in the Primitive Methodist chapel, and on Saturday evening in the Protestant Wesleyan chapel, when, on both occasions, several came forward and signed the pledge.

Left me wondering what religion he was, if any, or just a Teetotaller?


Always one killjoy  for a little wine!

Still, Coffee and Tea are supposed to have anti-oxidants  and 3 cups of coffee daily claimed on the news last night that it may be possibly beneficial for some and to be researched further.

Will ask Mrs H if she can make her coffee cake

If the article had been written at a later date I would have guessed at Edwin Paxton Hood. He eventually saw the light and gave up teetotalism after advice from a doctor in 1885.

Good man 

EDIT: Not many Spencer Quakers in Yorkshire. A couple of Leppingtons though.

Quaker Obits

These Quaker Members are good COOK and COOKE 1813 to 1892, because RG 6 Quaker online (on pay per view), usually only go to circa 1838 - 1840
 

Still a problem with "Not in Membership" burials. That is why I couldn't find George Hood's burial!


Only those who died 1941 onward, can be picked up in the Census, unless they've returned from abroad.

Thinking of cancelling my newspaper subs. I find the Census very useful and one has newspaper access anyway.

Quakers were not allowed to say the day or month name, so use numbers and "mo." for month.
